I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me no
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love
I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cause I'm blinded with the light
Taking a chance on a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow
So I stand at the crossroad, baby
Wondering which way to go
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love
I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But my heart keeps telling me no, no
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
(Standing in the shadow of love)
Too many people

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
